Yes, it dos need explaining. Maduro and his government was illegitimate and he was a dictator. The regime is indefensible and Venezuelans appear to be rejoicing that he’s been toppled. It’s also initially a strategic victory against China who is dependent on oil imports.

No, on the contrary. The interventions in more recent times (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Haiti, Somalia) failed because the institutions to support liberal democracies were either v weak or didn’t exist. Going back to the partition of India, one of the main reasons India was able to sustain a...

That’s what kebabs and late nights on Xbox does to you.

I thought Searle bottled it against Littler last night too. GVV turning up like he did in Set 1 or even last night v Anderson, it’s an all time classic. It’s a real shame he’s capitulated. Littler has bossed it though, 25 more shots at double is crazy work.

Haha the comment on Littler was ‘he looks 40’ 😂

Watching with the better half and it’s the first game she’s ever watched! If this doesn’t get her hooked, what will?!

Do you think any other president would be different? There’s a geopolitical dimension to this in the sense that the US wants to reassert the Monroe Doctrine and have a regime in Venezuela that’s compliant. Most importantly, is to take Venezuela away from Chinese influence and to stop the supply...

Hopefully the lord smites Birmingham and their shit team.

Do you see Venezuela and the Iraq interventions being one and the same thing? There are huge political differences between the same nations.

What’s this then?

Why don’t we wait and see how things actually pan rather than jumping on every little thing Trump says? He talks a lot of shit and you’d think his strongest critics would get this and see what actually develops.

Bravo. Love the film, the satire and the soundtrack! 😂

That applies to all US presidents henceforth… Had Nixon been indicted the Supreme Court probably has a similar ruling. His successor, however, pardoned Nixon and Biden probably should’ve done the same. In any case, the Supreme Court ruled in Trump’s favour so the US system working as...

Dems in 2020 btw when Trump was ‘too soft’ on Maduro:
